评论信号：I remember watching Salad Fingers on there and playing tons of idle and tower defence games; good times reply: Salad fingers.That was the creepiest thing ever when it came out.Rusty spoons.

评论信号：Nice to see Newgrounds is still alive and more or less unchanged since its early days. With so many of the creative spaces online becoming highly censored hellholes, having a more laissez-faire platform is a breath of fresh air.

评论信号：Imagine how big Apple would/could be if they embraced open hardware. They do have a moat here. macOS is so bloated, I hate it, but the hardware is just so much better than anything else. reply: Apple is a vertical company. They don’t WANT to sell you hardware. They don’t want to sell you software.They only want to sell the whole package. You might as well ask the Catholic Church to start a rap music 8-track only record club. Same probability.The hardware is a means to an end, and nothing else to them.

评论信号：Weird to buy machine with company actively hostile to anything open to run open stuff reply: Is Apple taking steps to purposefully blocking open stuff, or are they just pointedly ignoring it and continuing to develop new hardware? I am genuinely asking, I don't know myself.edit: speaking mostly about macOS here, mobile OSes are much more locked down

评论信号：I wonder if AI could make this work? Have there been any attempts to have AI do the work needed? reply: AFAIK the M4 and M6 reverse engineering is AI-assisted.

评论信号：> platforms are left with an impossible choice: completely block all VPN traffic nationwide or withdraw access from Utah entirelyIs it even possible to reliably know that a connection is from a VPN? Anyone can proxy through a random hosting provider. reply: Requires the vpn provider to snitch and possible tag the ip frames or http frames lolFolks would just host their own vpns various places and this would be pointless ….

评论信号：>As we’ve said time and time again: the internet will always route around censorship.Is this still true, or has it become a truism? It seems nations like Iran and China (and events like Kashmir come to mind) have progressed the state-of-the-art and playbook to where we can't actually say it definitively will route around it.Now seeing that the US and EU are flirting with these similar restrictions it's making me wonder how we'll be able to keep hold of these principles.Maybe my concern with that adage is ultimately its passive voice, since it takes 'active' action by people to give us those options, and will probably take more actions by more people to keep it alive now. reply: The thing China can do, and does do: Kill your network connections, whether that's a TCP session, your ability to send or receive packets with some particular IP addresses, or at the extreme armed men show up and now it's not an Internet problem.Things China can't do: Magically "downgrade", "decrypt" or "intercept" the secure protocols we use every day like HTTPS....

评论信号："As we've said time and time again: the internet will always route around censorship."It won't route around self-censorship that arises out of surveillanceNor will it take a stand against SNI which is a dead simple means of implementing censorship that's in widespread use every day for years reply: > ... SNI which is a dead simple means of implementing censorshipCould you elaborate? What's "SNI", and how does it relate to censorship?

评论信号：For those of you who don't read NTSB reports as a hobby, know that Preliminary reports generally do not assign probable cause or list contributory findings. They're usually just full of basic, factual information like the date, time, location, weather, info about the aircraft and pilot, and so on. So don't go into the PDF thinking you're going to learn the cause of the crash. reply: While this is generally true and having read this report I do not believe it to contain any new material information related to the probable cause, it continues to paint the picture of the captain making a pretty big series of mistakes.It really sucks that the FO could not intervene further as he clearly identified the problem and articulated the solution.I certainly doubt there will be a satisfying ending to this one.

评论信号：Yikes.> According to Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out and FDR data, flight 7598 was about 105 ft above ground level (agl) at a groundspeed of 177 kts as it crossed the threshold of runway 30. The accident airplane touched down about 3,750 ft past the threshold at a groundspeed of 160 kts.Runway is 9360 ft long, so touchdown 40% down the runway.> winds were from 190° at 19 kts with gusts to 22 ktsSo, that's strong crosswind from slightly behind - not great.> 1:42 [1 min 42 sec before end of recording]: The captain called for flaps to be set to 20 degrees, and the FO cautioned they were too fast. The FO made additional comments regarding the airplane’s excessive speed throughout the remainder of the recording. There was not a consistent verbal response to the comments about speed.> 00:31 Sounds similar to the airplane touching down.> 00:15 The captain called for a go-around.> 00:10 Sounds similar to the airplane departing the paved surface.Looks like they landed way too long and fast, without deploying speed brakes and thrust reverser. Should have gone around.... reply:...

评论信号：I would have thought the terrain warning would have finally been the thing that would break his fixation, but I guess not. Just wild.

评论信号：Not to self-plug, but here's my video of the same four planets:https://sefffal.github.io/images/orbital-animation.mp4The creator of the GIF above used a data from a range of different telescopes and wavelengths, whereas I made this with using data only from same telescope (Keck), instrument, and wavelength (3.5 microns; near infrared). reply: How come both videos only go up to 2022 or so? Did we stop watching this star? Or is there just a delay on releasing the data?

评论信号：Worth being very clear that this is not a real video of the system, it's 10 static images with a few hundred interpolated "fake" frames. Still very cool though. reply: It indeed is very worth being very clear about the limited data that makes the images. It is also very cool. ..Nothing to add, simply echoing your sentiment :-)

评论信号：Amazing. Scrolling down one of the comments has an animation of starts around the center of the Milky Way. I have seen a few short ones of nebulae. There should be much much more of this sort of thing.I appreciate that scientist are not always after the pretty pictures. They can be expensive, do not always give the data needed, and the experiments do not always produce data that has obvious pretty picture potential. Still, for the average non professional scientist (me) the pictures are about all I will ever get out of the science. reply: The galactic center data actually proved there was a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and weighed it precisely from those stars motions. The name of the account that posted that animation (Sagittarius A*) is the name of that supermassive black hole.This work earned the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2020/summary/
